Testimonials
During my training in Maritime Podcasting and Digital Media, I developed and launched “Marejadas,” a podcast focused on marine conservation. In three months, we achieved over 5,000 downloads, collaborations with recognized NGOs, and mentions in specialized publications in the sector, exceeding initial expectations and building a loyal audience interested in maritime issues.
During the Maritime Communication and Journalism course, I developed crucial skills for effectively covering news in the sector. My final project, a report on sustainability in ports, was published in a specialized magazine, demonstrating the practical application of the knowledge I acquired and opening doors to future collaborations.
“Thanks to my training in Maritime Podcasting and Digital Media, I launched my podcast ‘Bitácora Sonora’ (Sound Log). In less than a year, we gained 5,000 subscribers and collaborations with important figures in the nautical sector. The training provided me with the tools for production, editing, marketing, and monetization, allowing me to turn my passion for the sea into a viable and successful project.”
After completing my training in Maritime Podcasting and Digital Media, I launched my own podcast about ocean sailing. In less than six months, I surpassed 5,000 listeners, secured sponsors from the nautical sector, and was invited to contribute to a specialized magazine. The training provided me with the tools and knowledge necessary to create engaging content, manage digital platforms, and connect with my audience.
